Chapter 44: The Night Battle in the Atrium
Inside the front hall.
The phoenix rolled off the roof and was caught by the old man with one hand.
The old man looked at the phoenix, which was unrecognizable, and his whole body was pitch black, and he couldn't help screaming loudly and crying bitterly. Phoenix was speechless, her wounds digging deep into her guts. Old age is like a fool, and the resentment against the phoenix in the past has turned into infinite grief and satisfaction.
Phoenix, you finally stayed in my arms, where are your fifteen-year-old husband Chen Hao and three-year-old concubine Hua Zhongxian?
For more than thirty years, I have been by your side, I can only watch you from afar, the night you returned to Yuanyang City from Shuangyang City, you slept with me, I don't have much experience, I didn't serve you well.
It's been three years, and I can hold you in my arms again, and I've been waiting for three years just to love you. The old man hugged the bloody phoenix and lowered his head to kiss the lips that were no longer there.
Phoenix woke up from shock, her whole body trembled slightly, it was difficult to breathe, she couldn't see, because she no longer had eyes, her brain was still clear, and her skull protected her brain.
She guessed that the people around her must be elderly, the one who was seven years older than her, and who had taken care of her and loved her since she was a child.
She thought of her lavish wedding, she thought of her eldest brother, her brother Chen, her fiancΓ©, her husband, someone, Chen Hao, that person. Chen Hao, who has thousands of wealth, thousands of acres of fertile land, and shops all over Shuangyang City, is her pride and her everything.
She remembered what she heard seven months of pregnancy with her husband breathing heavily.
She thought of her children, small, pink, fleshy. After a few years of loveless marriage, she chose to leave the house with her eldest daughter, and she returned to her godfather's house, and her godfather's face was ugly.
On the day when the chief of Yuanyang City paid a return visit to the mansion of the Yuanyang City Merchant Gang, her godfather took the lead, and she became Hua Zhongxian's "Mrs. Hua", in just three years, countless safflower divine pills prompted her to reach the realm of the thirty-seventh order Qi refining grandmaster, Hua Zhongxian gave her a new life, a new status, and a new identity, and she liked to be called "Mrs. Hua" by others.
But why are men like this, when I am half-hearted, they are wholeheartedly, and when I am wholeheartedly, they start to be half-hearted?
I can understand that Hua Zhongxian can't give me the status of a legitimate wife, but he built the Echo Valley and spent a few days with Yun Mengyue in the "Magpie's Nest" every month. The phoenix's body trembled with excitement, and the old man's heart was like a knife.
The old man choked up and asked, "Phoenix, can you still speak?" Phoenix was speechless, and his body moved slightly.
The old man choked up again: "Phoenix, can you hear me?" Phoenix was speechless, and his body trembled.
The old man broke down and wept bitterly. The old man had hazy eyes, held the right hand of the phoenix with only a thumb left, and suddenly saw the phoenix writing an incomplete word with only four strokes on the ground, and the old man knew that it was the word "dance". The old man exclaimed: "Don't worry, I will take care of Wu'er like my own daughter." β
The old man endured it for a while, and said sadly: "Wu'er is the one who makes the fox sick, not Hua Zhongxian." β
Phoenix's body trembled violently, and he wrote a few more strokes on the ground, and the old man recognized it for a long time, but he couldn't see what the words were, and he didn't dare to ask, so he could only comfort: "You can go with confidence." I can't bear to watch you suffer. β
Before he died, Phoenix said in his heart: I know that I will be happy if I marry the elderly, why don't I marry him? If ......I choose again? He may still not be chosen.

Li Xiao was restless in the atrium, he knew that the fierce battle outside was fierce.
Most of the white-armored guards at the front hall door died in battle, they knew that they would die if they retreated, but they still retreated to the door of the middle hall, Zhu Yaoting couldn't hold it down at all, he stood in front alone, struggling to support.
Suddenly, a three-foot-three-inch sword fell from the roof of the central hall, this sword was a light iron sword used by Qi refining cultivators to kill enemies, it was very light and extremely sharp.
Zhu Yaoting wanted to catch the light iron sword, but the man in black had already swarmed over, he held the waist knife in his right hand and swung it around, and after killing and slashing several people, he hurriedly leaned over and picked up the light iron sword. The four black-clothed men in the late stage of gathering took this opportunity to raise their knives together and slash at Zhu Yaoting, who had not yet stood firm.
At the last moment, Daoist Sunset flew down from the front hall, and before jumping onto the roof of the middle hall, he knocked away the four men in black who were sneaking up on the attack.
Most of the white-armored guards had been injured and exhausted, and they all entered the central hall one after another.
Zhu Yaoting was wearing white armor, a white helmet, a light iron sword in his left hand, and a heavy waist knife in his right hand, desperately resisting the black-clothed man who rushed over, and the black-clothed man surrounded and slashed, and he suffered more than ten knife wounds.
Ding Mao, the leader of the men in black, saw that Zhu Yaoting was still brazen and did not retreat, so he hurriedly restrained his subordinates and said, "Form a formation." β
More than a dozen black-clothed people no longer surrounded Zhu Yaoting, but formed a "human wall", with three people squatting in the front row, specifically attacking Zhu Yaoting's lower three roads, and the middle four people stood side by side, either left and right, up and down, or irregularly swinging knives and slashing, and after seven people, there were several people who specialized in encircling and raiding. Zhu Yaoting was unable to support himself, he was slashed several times, two of which were stabbed in the chest and abdomen, he was dying, and was dragged into the central hall by the guards in the central hall.
Although the atrium is large, there are women and children "perched" everywhere. It is not known if the enemy outside will kill women, the elderly and children.
As a civilized person, how could he commit the Nanjing Massacre like Little Japan? Soon, Li Xiao verified a truth: Civilized people are relative and conditional, and people are all the same people.
In the middle hall, Zhu Yaoting shouted, "Don't run, rush with me." Kill ......" and then there was no sound.
Ahh Due to the presence of candlelight, more than a dozen black-clothed assassins entered the central hall, and there were too many people to find the white-armored guards, so they began to slash and kill indiscriminately, and women and children dodged everywhere.
The four white-armored guards in front of the screen didn't move at first, but they couldn't bear the screams of the women and children, so two of the guards pushed away the crowd and raised their swords to join the fight.
The black-clothed man who killed the red-eyed man was not only strong in martial arts, but also used women and children to dodge around, and quickly killed the two guards who rushed up.
The four guards in front of the screen were four of the ten white-armored guard captains. The errands that are close to the big leader, of course, are done by the small leader.
A few men in black noticed that there was a screen in the brightest place of the candlelight, and they did not dare to rush over for a moment, so they began to cautiously look for the white-armored guards in the crowd.
Suddenly, Green Tea said crisply: "Quickly blow out the candle, quickly blow out the candle." Then, with several screams, the candles were extinguished one by one, and the atrium was pitch black.
